Mark This Day

Fetch the notary.  This afternoon, 3:50 of the post meridian, we're watching "How It's Made" on the Science Channel.  A segment comes on as to how they shape and polish diamonds.  Creaky fingered little men with funny round hats.  A lot of close-up work.  Abruptly, her spangledness arises from her chair as if to leave the room. 

"Honey!  It's on diamonds!  Don't you want to see this?  Should'nt I pause it?"

"Oh Genie, I don't need any more diamonds."

GASP      It was as if all the air had been sucked out of the room.  I was being swallowed by a vortex.  Dizzy, I rush to the keyboard to record the event.  Oh hallelujah, if only a hymn were playing, I'd wave my arm to the heavens.
